Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists in Naperville, IL

It takes a great amount of strength and courage to reach out and ask for help, or even explore that option. We can all use extra support at times throughout our life, whether we are experiencing high levels of stress, symptoms, or have been going through major adjustments in life. I am a licensed clinical professional counselor who believes therapy is a collaborative relationship that assists individuals in building their tool box, instills hope, and helps them overcome obstacles that create difficulty in their life.

I am a licensed child/adolescent/adult clinical psychologist & Sleep Science Coach trained in CBT-I for insomnia. I specialize in anxiety, depression, OCD , relationship issues, behavior change and parenting issues. I use research based methods that allow people to function at their highest potential. I earned my Master's & Doctorate in Clinical Psychology, and have worked in multiple settings, including hospitals, outpatient centers, private practice, and as the director of a behavioral/emotional school for children. I am the author of the online sleep course “Drift” and the children’s book, "I Just Don't Get My Parents' Rules!"

Therapy can be a great place to begin the courageous journey of rediscovering who you are and equipping yourself with the tools needed to make your life more enriched and fulfilling. I work with couples, families, and individuals of all ages. I have undergone training in EFT (Emotion Focused Therapy), and use ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) for treating OCD and anxiety related disorders.

Are you feeling isolated, anxious, or stuck? You are not alone. I am passionate about helping you find your way back to finding peace and balance in your life. I work with women and men of all ages, adolescents, and kids age 7 and up offering treatments such as ERP therapy for OCD , EMDR for trauma, and ACT and CBT for self-esteem, self-image, phobias, parenting, life transition issues, adolescence, anger management, co-dependency, relationship issues, divorce, depression, and perfectionism. I am also a yoga teacher and offer mind body interventions into our sessions when fitting.

My role is to increase your self-awareness to identify what you value, what is currently working in your life, and what is getting in the way of you living the life you want to live. I view therapy as a partnership wherein my role is to help you to move towards the life you want to live based on your values. I will also teach you skills based on ACT, DBT, and CBT.

I strive to help people have a better understanding of who they are and who they can be and overcome the internal obstacles keeping them stuck. You will find me easy to connect with. I listen attentively, remember details, and ask direct and relevant questions to create a therapy that is tailored to your goals, challenges and provides solutions. I effectively treat Depression, Anxiety, OCD , Panic, and Chronic Pain. Mind-body imbalance can cause neck and back pain, stomach problems, headaches, which I have success treating. I also specialize in eating disorders, specifically in weight loss and weight gain prevention.

I believe that change best occurs in the context of an open, trusting relationship. Therapy is a collaborative relationship in which we work together to address the issues that you are struggling with. Together, we will identify your feelings, thoughts, and dynamics that are impacting your life. We will work together to meet your goals in pursuit of a purposeful and rewarding life.

As a specialist in the area of OCD and anxiety-related disorders, I am skilled at working with patients who are suffering from all types of anxiety, and I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and exposure-based interventions to treat OCD and related disorders (such as hair pulling and skin picking ) and Body Dysmorphic Disorder. My other areas of specialty include Panic Disorder, Agoraphobia, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Social Phobia, Specific Phobia (e.g., fear of spiders, heights). I provide a safe, trusting environment in which kids, teens, and adults can feel comfortable and confident in their abilities to reach their goals.

Perhaps you've been struggling with complex OCD , a Body Focused Repetitive Behavior like Trichotillomania or Skin Picking , or a Tic disorder or Tourette and have been to numerous therapists that just don't seem to get it or provide the treatment you are looking for. Sound familiar? We want to help you get back to the big, beautiful life you deserve, and we have the expertise, training, and experience to help you get there. We are a team of therapists licensed to serve 20+ states, who utilize practical evidence-based treatments to help you not just survive but thrive.

You deserve therapy that will meet your needs and a connection that actually helps you grow. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by worries, or feel anxiety is taking over your life, I can help you navigate these emotions and learn how to take back control of your own life. My work focuses on helping you break free from that cycle of anxiety, panic, OCD , or PTSD. You don't have to keep living with fear when there's a way out. You are more than your worries. You deserve to heal that pain. I’m here to hold a safe space for you when you're ready to start collaborating with me. Let's unravel the worries so they aren't overwhelming anymore.

Reaching out for help during our vulnerable moments can be overwhelming and intimidating. Sometimes we can convince ourselves that we should figure it out on our own or that things aren't bad enough to need help and we can find ourselves reluctant to take that next step. Regardless of where you are on your healing journey, I will meet you there and join beside you to work through the things that feel unbearable and impossible to overcome on your own.

When we live our lives in a state of constant fight-or-flight, we can go into survival mode. Worries, phobias, panic attacks, obsessive thoughts, and/or repetitive/compulsive behaviors can make us feel hopeless and avoidant of things that seem too risky. We can find ourselves overthinking, overanalyzing, and feeling powerless. If you're feeling like life hasn't been moving in a positive direction, or as though you've been at a standstill, unable to maneuver how to proceed or unable to believe you can tolerate the uncertainty of a "bad" move, let me support you.
